Natural, Season-Spanning Decor

Forget the life-size light-up mummies and ceiling-suspended spiders. This fall, stick to a natural, season-spanning look that's more crafty than creepy, and you'll be done with decorating until after Thanksgiving.

Mum's The Word

Break out of your seasonal entryway decorating rut, but keep it simple. These quirky, cozy-looking pumpkins  decorated with scraps of leftover plaid fabrics  are scarily easy to make. Just take strips of varying widths and wrap them around the middle of your pumpkins; add large wooden buttons to the front, and use straight pins with colored ball heads to keep them in place. Large urns overflowing with mums complete the look.
